Gov, r. i. Taylor paid flying visit
to Elizabethton this week. He was
warmly received every where along
the line. No effort of the vile and
corrupt ring in and around Nashville,
who have foully conspired to ruin him,
can shake the confidence of the peO-
pie OF East Tennessee in him. No
man, since the days of Andrew John
son, has such firm grip upon the af-
iections OF the people, and the low,
mean, contemplate and devilish ma
chinations OF his enimies have only
had the effect to rally his friends
around him. We know Gov Taylor,
have known him from his boyhood.
We were with him in his memorable
contests with Mai. Petibone in this
Congressional District. We remem-
Der in 1873, when first put forth as the
Democratic leader, that the Republi-
cans were jubilant, and predicted at
the first encounter that Petti5one, "at
one stroke OF his lion paw, would
sweep this STRIPPING youth from his
path, but this Lion Paw" business
was a most signal failure, and upon
every stump this young giant OF de-
mccracy grappled with his wiry an.
tagonist and throttled him, and with
a clean majority against him Of three
thousand, he defeated his antagonist
by a majority of eight hundred.
Since that time, in many a battle
with the Republican giants, he has
reflected honor upon himself and par
ty, he has always been in the fore
front OF the battle, and his clarion
voice has been heard from Carter tc
Shelby, arousing the democratic hosts
and leading them to victory. The
fact Of the matter is Just this, and we
give it in nutshell. Governor Tay
lor is in the way OF somebody, a few
wouldbe aspirants dread this young
Ajax, and they have come to the con
clusion that the only way to success
fully down him, is to ruin his reputa
ton by charges of official corruption
and they take advantage of the. pc
! culiar relations existing between hin
and his late competitor, and hatch ur
this foul and infamous charge. They
select an irresponsible tool to do thu
dirty work, this man Turner, who b,
his name and traits of character, VIZ
would suppose was of kin to Bessie
Turner who figured in the famous
Beacher Elton scandal this man, j
he desires the appellation, makes a
charge which if true, would consigr
him to the penitentiary, and Cooper
who for years has been poltica
mountebank, rings forth the foul Sian
der, and Thomas Williams (beg par
don-Col. Thomas Williams) lends &
helping hand, by repeating to Mr.
Gaines that he had heard such ru
mors-now the Colonel is an aspirant
for the U. S. Senate, and we assure
him and his hackers, that this game
is little too thin

charges and make assertions that are

to their friends in curing Consump-

without immediate relief. Three

consider it the duty Of all Druggists to
recommend it to the poor, dying con-

$4,000 dozen bottles were sold last

Federal Aid.

Here is the way the Memphis Ap-
peel takes the hide off OF the Knox
vile Tribune, In answering the TTi-
bltne article on "Blair Bill Democrats"
the appeal says This, from the Knox
vile Tribune, is about as barefaced a
piece Of impudence as we have ever
met with in print. Who made the
Tribune the measure of Democracy?
What position does it occupy in rela-
ton to the Democratic party Of Tenn
essee that would justify it in assum-
ing that is for the Blair Bill, or to put
it more correctly, for federal aid to ed
ucation, is not straight out" demo-
crat? The Appeal is for federal aid TO
education because it would dispel the
ignorance Of Tennessee and have every
child in the state adequately prepared
and equipped for the battle of life. Is
that not democratic? When did the
doctrine of the greatest good OF the
greatest number cease to be a demo
cratic doctrine? When was the dem
ocratic party of Tennessee narrowed
to the little, petty provincialism OF the
Knoxville Tribune, which does not
seem to care whether the people con
tinue in ignorance or not.
Can the surplus of the treasury be
put to q better use than making in
telligent laborcrs? and will the Knox
vile Tribune, with its superlative stan
dard OF Democracy, tell us when tn,
work of increasing the sum OF human
intelligence and human happines
ceased to be democratic?
What the Tribune says about Coy
Taylor betraying the democratic pan
ty is a sample OF their method and tn
strength Of their decryal, and is a re
suit OF the most contemplate episod
, in the politics OF Tennessee. The Tr
bune represents completely the little
: ness Of this coterie, and in its al
sumption of standard democracy, it is
: nores the fact that Lamar, George an
Walthal OF Mississippi are for feders
aid, that the democratic senators fror
South Carolina are for it, and thos
from Georgia, all democrats who's
standard is that OF pure democrac
and indebted These trusted leader
who know what it is to be democrat
are for federal aid to public education
Such aid would put a stop to our hal
q hearted and struggling methods {
education, would put our educator
, and school pupils on basis as secul
. as that OF the most favored states {

Mormon Emierants.

CHATTANOOGA, April 30.-Three
hundred Norwegian emigrants pass
ed through this city tonight for Salt
Lake City, whittier they 60 to join the
Mormon colonies in the West. They
came by way of Norfork and are the
most respectable immigrants arrived
in this city for many day. The par
ty is composed of men, women and
children and they all seem intelligent,
were well dressed and seemed to have
money. They seemed to regard Utah
as possessing all the richness Of the
promised land. They are accom-
panied by several Mormon elders,
who have been on PROSECUTING tour.
Many of them, however, do not seem
to understand. the polygamous nature
of the Mormon faith and several of the
women when told they were liable to
become wives of men already welded
to other wives opened their eyes and
disowned all intention of ever sub
hitting to such proceeding. Many
of them have evidently been deluded
into coming to America and espous-
ing the Mormon faith.
